Abstract
HERNANDEZ BURGOS, Claudio. Beyond Consensus and Opposition. Attitudes of "Ordinary People" in Dictatorships: An Analytical Proposal from the Franco Regime. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2014, n.50, pp.87-100. ISSN 0123-885X.
The aim of this article is to analyze social attitudes in dictatorships, examining the mechanisms used to gather social support and the complex relationship between state and society. To this end, this essay presents a theoretical and methodological proposal for analyzing individual and collective attitudes under non-democratic regimes. The first section synthesizes the main problems in examining social attitudes and points out some aspects that should be considered. The second part consists of a historiographical review of studies of social attitudes in different European dictatorships. Finally, the article focuses on the Franco regime, empirically demonstrating the need to adopt a flexible, complex, "bottom-up" approach to analyze the attitudes of "ordinary people".
Keywords : Dictatorship; attitudes; ordinary people; Franco regime; repression.
